I opined some time back (golly, 4-1/2 years) that P2P was the 
sensible architecture to cope with peaked demands:

It just so happens that it's also the most resilient when under 
attack (i.e. comes back fastest).

And, if designed to be, then the most robust as well (i.e. gets lost least).

Those attributes depend on the seekers having some key to search by, 
such as the hash of a consistently-named file, in order to locate one 
of the new locations of the desired materials.

(Locating a site is a bit different from locating a file).

I wonder if I should have done something about it, rather than just 
writing papers explaining what it was people were doing ...

(Put another way, I wonder if, rather than being the fault of ACMA or 
the 'real' Senator Conroy, the problem today is my fault.  I'll sleep 
on it).
